A man born in the first half of the nineteenth century was x years old in the year x2. He was born in 1806, 1812, 1825, 1836
Century 1 - this century spans years 1-100.
The 12th century was the years 1101 to 1200.
The 6th century was the years 501 to 600.
That depends on how many of the 100 years you consider "late". The last year of the 19th Century was the year 1900.

If you were born in 1994, you were born in the 20th century. Reason? In the first 100 years (AD) they called it the first century. The next 100 years was the second century and so on and so forth. To put it simply, you add one to the first two numbers of the year. Add one to 19, you get 20. Add one to 20, you get 21. So, in the year 2012, we are in the twenty-first century. =) I hope I answered your question.
A century is made of 100 years. That is longer than one year, whether it is a normal year or a leap year.
A year is 365 days and a century is 100 years. A millenium is 1000 years
The date of Pope Sylvester's birth is unknown but he died in the year 335. He was probably born sometime in the second half of the third century.
Because if the Century and the years were the same, I.E. the 19th Century was the year 1901 to 2000, then by default the 1st Century would have to be the years 101 to 200. If that were the case, then what would the year 1 to 100 be called, the Zero century?
There are 100 years in a century. So at year 100 it was the 1st century. At year 2001 we officially entered the 21st century.
